A latest vertical indoor farm being designed on the outskirts of Copenhagen will produce 1,000 metric tons of greens yearly. Created in a partnership between Danish startup Nordic Harvest and Taiwanese tech company YesHealth Group, the farm will let crops grow indoors throughout the winter that usually have to be imported.
As Fast Company published, Nordic Farm states that alike farm wrapping an area the size of 20 soccer fields could completely provide for the country’s total requirement for vegetables. The technology for the farm was created by YesHealth Group, a company that has dedicated the previous decade towards designing vertical farm tech.

The average person probably does not think twice when picking out-of-season produce all year round. Eating seasonally and locally are now personal preferences rather than realities of life. While convenient, the drawback is that non-locally grown produce has likely traveled thousands of miles to make it to your grocery store. It is lower in nutrients and in flavor; and worst of all, it has a massive carbon footprint. Danish company Nordic Harvest and YesHealth Group (a Taiwanese tech company with decades of vertical farming experience) have paired up to create a massive wind-powered vertical farm that will soon change the way Danes eat their leafy greens.
